Also, haha 6:28 the struggle is real - I have to order my hair products online :c they're more accessible in the corporate area but also a bit pricey. Reggae falls is beautiful! and I appreciate your choice of music. I see you picking the ackee like a natural. Pure vibes!

There is jollof in Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Senegal, Gambia etc. You hear about Nigerian and Ghanaian jollof the most, though. There is serious competition between them so let’s try to not spark any debate here haha.
